1-2 horas por semana. Students will have weekly "challenges" designed to get them outside in nature, studying plant morphology in real life and working with the plants discussed in the lessons. At the beginning of each week there will be time for sharing what students discovered and crafted. These challenges are designed to be fun and to encourage students to spend time outside exploring what they have learned in class.Calificación

The course-book includes ALL the information covered in class as well as many more plant monographs and recipes for you to explore, a total of 207 pages of content! 🌿🌿🌿 Welcome to Wildcrafting!

This week we have our first plant morphology lesson - Parts of a Leaf! We will study leaf shapes, margins, arrangements and compound leaves. We will also have our first in-depth plant study!
What may once have been a foe will surely become a friend - we'll be learning about the wonderful STINGING NETTLE including some fun recipes like Strettine (nettle pasta). The course-book contains additional leaf allies to look for this week in case you cannot find or identify nettle. Lección 4:

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
I am a graduate of The School of Evolutionary Herbalism where I completed the Vitalist Herbal Practitioner Program for Clinical Skills and Holistic Therapies under the tutelage of Sajah Popham. I have also taken courses on the topic of herbalism taught by Matthew Wood, Judith Hill, and Asia Suler. However, my greatest teachers have been the plants themselves. I have spent decades listening to them, sitting with them, harvesting them, reading about them, and crafting my own remedies and that personal connection and experience has been invaluable. For the past 5 years I have taught my Introduction to Wildcrafting class to over 1000 children and I have several groups of students who have continued studying with me for 4+ years. I truly believe that teaching our children about the natural world is the single most important thing that we can do for the future of our beautiful planet and teaching it through the lens of healing might just be the most important thing we do for the future of humanity.
